RAWNET 2012 - 8th International Workshop on Resource Allocation and Cooperation in Wireless Networks

The RAWNET 2012 workshop will focus on resource allocation, cooperation, and competition in both static and mobile wireless networks. The workshop encourages papers with novel approaches to management of resources such as spectrum, bandwidth, power and energy, storage, and caching capacity, and computational power. Cooperation and competition schemes across the protocol layers will be considered, ranging from the physical layer up to the application layer. Of particular interest are cooperation mechanisms for large-scale wireless networks that allow for efficient allocation of network resources; energy management; processing, dissemination, and location of information; and distributed computation.
Original contributions in resource allocation and cooperation for large-scale wireless networks are solicited in, but not limited to, the following topics of interest:
Data dissemination in large-scale wireless networks
Energy management in wireless networks
Wireless online social networks
Economics-inspired resource management and mechanism design
Cooperation schemes for resource management in wireless networks
Game theoretic approaches for wireless networks
Distributed and in-network computation in wireless networks
Distributed scheduling and resource allocation in large-scale wireless networks
Physical layer/MAC layer cooperation in large-scale wireless networks
Cooperation in physical and MAC layers
Fairness vs performance trade-offs in wireless networks
Effects of partial and incomplete state information in cooperative systems, and robust designs
